Ok, here it goes. Leave the sewing room alone and everyone will think you are still busy sewing or quilting and they will not bother you for anything else. No matter what I do mine will always look the same.

I loved the dynamite idea. I have felt that way myself.
Three weeks ago my family came to visit for my sons graduation from High School. I had to put as much sewing stuff in a closet including fabric, the rest of the fabric had to go to the basement in oder to make room for my husband and I to sleep in there. It looks so nice I almost didn't bring it all back out but since I joined a block of the month group I am going to have to which I am happy about. I want to continue to sew no matter the mess. :)

My rule of thumb is clean off my entire area with the start of a new quilt. Oh I pick up cut peices and tidy up as I go, but I have a shoe box on my table and my accessories I'm using go into that box, scisssors, threads, pins, tape measure....you get the picture. That way I can clear my table to cut and sew, but I don't have to clean up every day. And when I'm done with "that" quilt I put away everything and start all over again.

Have you ever watched Eleanor Burns toss the scraps over her shoulder onto the floor? Just imagine cleaning up after her.
